Striving Quotes
-
All this struggling and striving to make the world better is a great mistake. Not that it's wrong to try to improve the world if you know how but simply because struggling and striving are the worst possible ways to go about doing anything!
George Bernard Shaw
-
It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing.
Albert Einstein
-
Whatever we really are, that let us be, in all fearlessness. Whatever we are not, that let us cease striving to be.
Anna Robertson Brown Lindsay
-
I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it as a common means of transport, although that end is what we have all ostensibly been striving to attain.
Amy Johnson
-
Freedom is a need of the soul, and nothing else. It is in striving toward God that the soul strives continually after a condition of freedom. God alone is the inciter and guarantor of freedom. He is the only guarantor. External freedom is only an aspect of interior freedom. Political freedom, as the Western world has known it, is only a political reading of the Bible. Religion and freedom are indivisible. Without freedom the soul dies. Without the soul there is no justification for freedom. Necessity is the only ultimate justification known to the mind.
Whittaker Chambers
-
A man's excellence is like that of water; It benefits all things without striving; It takes to the low places shunned by men. Water is akin to Tao. . . . In all the earth nothing weaker than water, Yet in attacking the hard, nothing superior, Nothing so certain in wearing down strength: There is no way to resist it. Note then: The weak conquer the strong, The yielding outlast the aggressors.
Lao Tzu
-
I'm always striving to do more. Whatever I accomplish, it's not enough. I don't get satisfied.
Brian Dawkins
-
I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I'm sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled.
Sigourney Weaver
-
Progress is a tension between the notion of perfection and the notion that striving, not finding, is important.
George Zebrowski
-
We cannot get happiness by striving after it, and yet with an effort we can impart it.
Robert Wilson Lynd
-
For suffering and enduring there is no remedy, but striving and doing.
Thomas Carlyle
-
Even when you are striving, stumbling and struggling, it's exhilarating if you sense you are growing.
Brenda Poinsett
-
I am not born to sit still and do nothing. If I lose the game, it shall not be from not striving for it.
Jane Austen
-
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. It can be argued that peace and happiness comes from the subjective internalised perspective of realizing things could be worse and being grateful they aren't. The alternative view that peace and happiness comes from the objective external perspective of having more and better things than at present, while important for growth, can be a never-ending source of jealousy, dissatisfaction and disappointment. A balance of the two, where people are grateful for what they have while striving for more seems the best blended perspective.
Gautama Buddha
-
Maybe you should evolve too! Making everything your fault is the stupid way out...and you shouldn't waste your brain. Why do you think that way, huh? You must not be seeing the whole picture. What do you want anyway? Shouldn't you be striving for yourself?
Bisco Hatori
-
You're always striving for a place of Zen. Or a flow state, where you kind of transcend reality and you go to the other place. It's when everything is in sync, and everyone is connecting with one another. Everything is going perfectly. You lose yourself. It's the ultimate form of meditation where it's an out - of - body experience. Afterward you come back to Earth and you're like, 'What just happened? We just did something awesome!' It's this energy in the room when you know you're nailing it and you know everyone else is feeling it too. That's why theater is so awesome.
Evan Rachel Wood
-
Keep striving for your goals, and remember that it's good to be ambitious.
Hillary Clinton

If we are striving, if we are working, if we are trying, to the best of our ability, to improve day by day, then we are in the line of our duty.
Heber J. Grant
